Storyline "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking your Juice in the Hood" is a parody of a lot of Afro-American movies, for instance "Boyz N the Hood", "South Central", "Menace II Society", "Higher Learning" and "Juice". We follow Ashtray as he returns to the place he grew up in and meet his father and his basket-case friends. A lot of crazy stuff happens, for example, Ashtray is older than his father and his best friend Loc Dog's grandmother is a trigger-happy old lady who blames her eccentric-looking kid for not being tough enough.

User Review
Really funny but...
Rating: 9/10
You have to watch a few other movies first to really appreciate this.
The main two movies you have to watch first is Menace II Society and
Boyz N The Hood. 'Don't Be A Menace To South Central While Drinking
Your Juice In The Hood' spoofs these two to the max but if you haven't
seen these two movies most of this movie will be lost on you. It pretty
much is good from beginning to end and i can't think of anything bad to
say about it. I particularly like the scene with Officer Self Hatred.
This movie isn't a total spoof of movies with a couple of original
jokes here and there. The Wayans brothers are good in whatever movie
they are in so go watch 'White Chicks' and the first two Scary Movie's.
If you like this then i also recommend 'CB4' which is equally
hilarious. 9/10
